Wrote this many years ago, recorded it a couple of years ago. You can hear it on my SoundCloud page. One of those “really amused myself while writing it” things. As a Jon Lovitz character on SNL used to say, “lower your standards.”
All I wanted was a house in the suburbs
With a white picket fence and very healthy yard
And a paper towel dispenser hangin’ in my brand new kitchen
Is that too much to ask?
Oh, is that too much to ask?
Then all I wanted was a studio apartment
With hardwood floors and a very funky smell
And a few of my friends to drop by and watch some football
Is that too much to ask?
Oh, is that too much to ask?
Then all I wanted was a nice little lady
Who could cook me up some grits and wash my faded jeans
And love me in the evenin’ like a busty pin-up poster
Is that too much to ask?
Oh, is that too much to ask?
Now all I want is a shack in south Missouri
With dirt-covered windows and a broken old screen door
And a hefty little woman who tries to hide her moustache
Is that too much to ask?
Oh, is that too much to ask?
